DIY Driftwood Hardwood Floors

Hey party people! Our work up North is completed and we are driving down to Florida as you read this. It's been a crazy year so far and now I should have some more time to work on the RV Makeover! I am so excited to tackle that. In the meantime, I have this amazing  floor tutorial for you. It makes your floors easy enough for you to DIY them!

DIY Anthro Box Set Book Shelf

Happy Thanksgiving week! I am guessing most of you will be with your family this holiday. Zack and I are still on the road and decided to spend the holiday alone rather than send our pets to a boarder so we could travel to be with family. We have decided to spend the holiday in Williamsburg- in the area where the first Thanksgiving took place. I wanted to tell you how thankful I am for this blogging community. For the first year+ I started my business, this was the only thing each week I would do for myself. Now things are more manageable, but you all have been there through the ups and downs, thick and thin and I am grateful for it. I hope you have a wonderful holiday.

How to Achieve Black-Oak Look

One of the joys of my job is that I get to work with the best designers and architects in the US. As you can see for yourself, here. This kitchen designer worked up a remodel for their client, and the center piece of the design is this charcoal-colored oak cabinetry. This look could never be achieved with a traditional wood stain, since you might get black wood, but you will lose all that gorgeous wood grain.
